with LH3M.
Thomas Abraham-JamesGUEST

My colleague Cliff here has been on 60 Minutes, which really garnered incredible coverage around the United States and indeed globally.
Thomas Abraham-JamesGUEST
2:37
Department of Energy has just put Helium onto its critical list in the USA.
Thomas Abraham-JamesGUEST
2:43
And prior to that, earlier this year, we managed to raise quite a lot of capital.

The war with Iran is cutting off a resource critical for nearly every modern product we make.

Helium.
Jon WertheimCORRESPONDENT

No helium, no new cell phones, no MRI machines, no missiles.
Jon WertheimCORRESPONDENT

And it's getting harder to find.

Joe SachlebenGUEST
17:19
hope people weren't hurt was first, and then second, it's like, this is going to be a problem.
Joe SachlebenGUEST
17:23
I mean, I won't say the words I was thinking, but, you know, it's like, crap, we're going to have to deal with this, and I might not be able to get helium.
Jon WertheimCORRESPONDENT
17:30
Helium is critical for those large cylinders, nuclear magnetic resonance machines.
Jon WertheimCORRESPONDENT
17:35
In Sachleben's lab, these machines are used by students, but also for higher-stakes research to develop breast cancer drugs, immunotherapies, and treatments for Alzheimer's.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
1:57
Yeah.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
1:58
Helium.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
1:59
Helium, named after Helios.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
2:01
Helios.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
2:02
The Greek sun god, okay? Helium has two protons in its nucleus.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
2:05
Okay.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
2:06
Why don't they fly apart? What keeps the protons together are neutrons.

Okay.
speaker_3HOST
5:08
But it was still hot and dense enough for that deuterium to fuse into helium.
speaker_3HOST
5:13
But because the expansion was so incredibly rapid, the density of this cosmic soup just plummeted.
speaker_2HOST
5:19
The particles got too far apart.
speaker_3HOST
5:21
Precisely.
speaker_3HOST
5:22
By the time you had a significant amount of helium, the particles were too spread out and the temperature had dropped too much to overcome the immense electrostatic repulsion you'd need to jam helium nuclei together.
speaker_2HOST
5:33
To make the heavier stuff.
speaker_3HOST
5:34
Right.
Brian ZinchukHOST
55:52
We're gonna have to wrap up here pretty shortly, but there's two things I wanna touch on very briefly.
Brian ZinchukHOST
55:56
I was at, uh, Stuart Valley, uh, North American Helium facility opening yesterday, which they now figure is the largest one in Canada.
Brian ZinchukHOST
56:04
Uh, and one of our...
Brian ZinchukHOST
56:05
I think maybe the largest one North America might have been.
Jeremy HarrisonGUEST
56:21
Yeah.
Brian ZinchukHOST
56:21
Uh, at the, uh, uh...
Brian ZinchukHOST
56:23
when you announced the Helium Action Plan five years ago, we talked about-
Jeremy HarrisonGUEST
56:26
Yeah
Reece MartinGUEST
39:18
And they had TransRapid, which is the system that they used in Shanghai, the German ThyssenKrupp system.
Reece MartinGUEST
39:24
And you're like, yeah, that was a better engineered system because it didn't require you like refill the trains with liquid helium to cool the superconducting magnets.
Reece MartinGUEST
39:33
And like half the train is just shielding so that you're not like getting an MRI constantly while you're taking it, right? And so, I mean, like, look, it's an- Helium's
Jeff WoodHOST
39:42
rare too.
Jeff WoodHOST
39:43
Like it's hard to- And
BeccaHOST
3:23
It does not support combustion and therefore diathermy is safe to use.
BeccaHOST
3:28
Helium and heliox.
BeccaHOST
3:31
Helium conducts heat very efficiently and is required for the operation of MRI scanners as it facilitates the massive cooling required to induce enormous magnetic fields.
BeccaHOST
3:40
Heliox is 79% helium and 21% oxygen and is used occasionally for its low density.
BeccaHOST
3:47
As the transition from turbulent to laminar flow is based on density, reducing density facilitates laminar flow when turbulent would otherwise occur.

Frain said the new training resource will help regional emergency responders improve their preparedness for railcar incidents and hazardous materials emergencies.
speaker_0HOST
0:53
In Southern news, there is an article from Fox News about how the Two Harbors City Council approved a purchase and development agreement with Pulsar Helium MN, incorporated for a proposed rare gas hub on roughly 62 acres in the city's industrial district.
speaker_0HOST
1:09
The facility would process helium and other rare gases with helium liquefaction and carbon capture capabilities.
speaker_0HOST
1:16
The city would sell land appraised at $143,200 for $1 and contribute up to $1 million toward a rail spur or siding.
Ryan FosterHOST
39:46
Nothing's better than being drunk and ...
Ryan FosterHOST
39:48
Weren't you there when Zoe was pregnant and picked you up with Helium?
Matt TubbsHOST
39:50
Yes.
Matt TubbsHOST

Kevin O'KeefeHOST
20:13
Well, 74% of ordinary atomic matter in the universe by mass is hydrogen.
Kevin O'KeefeHOST
20:23
And what accounts for the rest, or almost all the rest? Helium, another 24%.
Kevin O'KeefeHOST
20:30
That basically means that all the other elements combined account for only 2% of what's in our universe.
Kevin O'KeefeHOST
20:38
Hydrogen and helium were formed in huge quantities during the early history of our universe, shortly after the Big Bang.
